Product Description

They were created to be killing machines. Highly intelligent, resourceful, and deceptively complex, the Jem'Hadar are a species engineered for war and programmed at the genetic level for one purpose: to fight until death as soldiers of the sprawling stellar empire known as the Dominion. No Jem'Hadar has ever lived thirty years, and not even their masters, the shape-shifting Founders, know what such a creature is capable of becoming were it to be freed of its servitude.

One Founder, however, has dared to wonder.

Appointed by Odo himself to learn peaceful coexistence aboard Deep Space 9 ™, Taran'atar, an Honored Elder among the Jem'Hadar, had for months been a staunch, if conflicted, ally to the crew of the station, ever struggling to understand the mission on which he was sent . . . until something went horrifically wrong.

Consumed by self-doubt and an ever-growing rage, Taran'atar has lashed out against those he was sworn to aid. While Captain Kira Nerys and Lieutenant Ro Laren both lie near death aboard DS9, their assailant has taken a hostage and fled into Cardassian space, pursued by Commander Elias Vaughn on the U.S.S. Defiant. But as the hunt unfolds, Taran'atar's true objective becomes increasingly less certain, as the rogue Jem'Hadar leads the Defiant to a discovery even more shocking than his crime.

4.0 out of 5 stars [No Spoilers] Definately Intense, April 22, 2006
This book is a good example of good Trek literature. It was not bogged down with some typical science-fiction plot. There was no alien mystery to solve, there wasn't some long introduction to some alien species or the feel that this was another Trek episode. This had the feel of something epic, big, something that would be fit for a movie. The story, for me, was on the lines of Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan and The Undiscovered Country. It's the first book that I was able to fly through and not feel that lost.

What made it so good was that it was a story about the characters. Each of the characters seemed to come to a crossroads. This book sort of felt like a transition to things to come. A new threat has been hinted at, a new role and future for Sisko, two characters are near death ... it's great material. Yeah, it is sort of annoying that you get to the end only to find a "to be continued" but then again, a lot of the Deep Space Nine Re-Launch has been like that.

This book really made me appreciate the Vaughn character more. He's humanized here, made to be less of a big figure and his role as a father is explored. Tarantar is also explored some and turns into the enemy of the novel (as you may be able to tell from the title and cover). There were nice moments between other characters, such as Dax and Sisko, Ro and Quark and such, but I found this to be more about Vaughn and Tenemi's relationship as father and daughter. This novel also managed to tie in to another rather important plot that was left sort of unfinished in the television series.

In all, this is what keeps me reading Trek fiction. Definately surprised me by how good it was and how easy it was to get into and finish. If you haven't read other DS9 Re-Launch books like "Avatar" and "Unity" I'd definately hold off though ... you'll appreciate this novel after you've invested some time getting familiar with the relaunch series and these new faces. Definately worth your time and the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get ready for another roller coaster ride..., March 24, 2006
By D. Fisher (Washington state) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
David Mack (who wrote "A Time to Kill" and "A Time to Heal" in the ST:TNG series) has done an excellent job picking up the many threads that were left hanging for readers in the DS9 world after all the short stories in the "Worlds of DS9" were published, and beginning (and yes, the story is not yet finished - there is an advertised sequel coming) to weave them all together.

Basic plot: Taran'atar, the Jem'Hadar that Odo sent to live on DS9, has snapped. After nearly killing Kira and Ro, he manages to get off the station undetected, with Prynn Tenmei as his pilot/hostage. As Bashir and the medical staff work frantically to save Kira and Ro, Vaughn takes the Defiant and begins to try to track down Taran'atar, leaving Dax in charge of the station, Nog trying to find out the reasons behind Taran'atar's actions, and Quark at Ro's bedside.

That's just the basic plot. (Here be a small spolier!) Things really begin to get more and more complicated when the alternate universe is brought into the mix. Two major cliffhangers from the short stories - the massacre of Sidau village, and Taran'atar's mental state and attack on Kira and Ro - are also explained.

Strong points:
- Kira's struggle to live (Prophets included)
- Ro and Quark's interactions
- Vaughn's internal perceptions of his relationship with Prynn
- Prynn's fight to survive her kidnapping

Weak points:
- Alternate universe (I've never been a huge fan of it, but at least it works well and isn't just brought into the plot for the fun of making Kira a power-hungry sex machine)
- Dax in charge of DS9 (she gets to do almost nothing except pass along information and talk with Sisko)

This was a fun, fast read - if you were hooked on the DS9 relaunch, you NEED to read this book. Mack has a good handle on the characters, the story is very tightly written, and there are no slow points. The major down side - there are still many questions to be answered, and there is no publication date given for the advertised sequel! I can't wait a full year AGAIN for another book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Season two of the re-launch starts here., April 13, 2006
Outside of Peter David's New Frontier novels, the DS9 re-launch is the best thing going in Trek publishing right now. (The Titan series could jump up there given time).

What's amazing about the DS9 books is that unlike David's New Frontier series which has one author and one vision, the DS9 novels are written by a handful of different writers, each of whom brings their strengths to the stories but yet there's a consistent feel and direction to these books.

It's been over a year since the last installment of the World's of Deep Space Nine hit the shelves, leaving many characters lives in chaos and the series at a crossroads. David Mack's Warpath picks up literally seconds after the stories of Worlds of DS9 and doesn't let up to the final page. This one of those books that is instantly addictive. The story shifts from one plot thread to another (there are about three running) but you never feel as if one is being short changed. Instead, all three are interesting and compelling and while we concentrate a good deal on Kira, Ro, Vaughn, Tarrantar and Prynn, the novel does allow us a glimpse of how the other characters are doing and reacting to events.

And while we do get a good bit of Tarrantar and Vaughn, the real star of this book is Pyrnn. She's been one of the lesser developed charaters of the re-launch, but Mack handles her with ease and confidence here. She's the star of the show and my opinion of the character changed over the course of the book-for the better.

In TV terms, this is the season premiere for the DS9 reluanch. It will bring you up to speed on what's going on in the universe quickly and it starts to set up things for future books to examine (not soon enough in my estimation....I need a new book now!). If you're new to the series, while you can jump in and Mack does a great job of explaining where things are, you still may be lost. I recommend it, but only if you're willing to invest the time to catch-up on the series. The series is worth is and Warpath will be that much better.
